Call to Worship
Sing to the Lord a new song,
and his praise from the ends of the earth.
—Isaiah 42:10
And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died he for me who caused his pain
For me who him to death pursued
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
He left his Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

Lion and the Lamb
He’s coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
Every chain will break
As broken hearts declare his praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring in power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before him
Open up the gate
Make way before the King of kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring in power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before him
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord?
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring in power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before him

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Your Love is Mine
I walked alone, trying to find my way
On winding roads and paths that I had made
Wandering so far from grace
I’d given up on things that I believe
My hopes and dreams were buried in the sea
But you were there, calling out to me
Life will rise, death will die
Your love is mine, your love is mine
Stains washed white, you paid the price
Your love is mine, your love is mine
I once was lost and burdened by my shame
But you took the cross and suffered in my place
You rescued me, I belong to you
Life will rise, death will die
Your love is mine, your love is mine
Stains washed white, you paid the price
Your love is mine, your love is mine
I called your name
You looked my way
You looked my way
I called your name
You looked my way
You looked my way
I called your name
You looked my way
You looked my way
I called your name
What could separate
What could separate
Life will rise, death will die
Your love is mine, your love is mine
Stains washed white, you paid the price
Your love is mine, your love is mine

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man
Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown
Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast
Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man
Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name

Sermon
“A Starting Point for Friendship — David and Jonathan”
1 Samuel 18:1-16
Prayer of Confession
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.
— from The Book of Common Prayer
Assurance of Pardon
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will
be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 8:38-39
The Lord’s Supper
Man of Sorrows
Man of sorrows Lamb of God
By his own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid
Silent as he stood accused
Beaten, mocked, and scorned
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
Sent of heaven God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed him to that tree
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
O, is free indeed
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
See the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah God be praised
He’s risen from the grave
O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee
